Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 112 Entering the Mountain

The next morning, after adding water to the chickens, ducks and geese in the backyard and closing the gate, the two started heading into the mountains.

While walking towards the place where there are hawthorn trees, I lowered my head to look for medicinal herbs. It was like searching for treasure along the way.

"Lu Chuan, look, there is a hawthorn tree over there. Let's go pick some fruits." After saying that, he ran towards the hawthorn tree.

Ever since he got the ginseng and sold it for a large sum of money, Xu Han's mood has changed.

In the past, I was always worried about not having enough money to buy food or stock up on supplies. Now that I have a lot of money and enough food, the burden on my heart has finally been lifted.

Now when I go out to look for things, I don’t feel as stressed. Before, I was desperately stockpiling goods, always afraid that there would not be enough to eat. I wanted to bring home anything edible. I felt safe only when I stockpiled them.

Now that I have food in my hands and money in my pocket, it’s different. When I collect things, I think about adding delicious food to my future life and making my life better.

There is no longer that feeling of being pressed for time and desperately stocking up.

Although I am rich, I cannot buy everything. I should grow what I can and pick what I can in the mountains.

It would be boring to stay at home all day long, eating and waiting to get hungry, and spending money on everything.

With this money, I can only say that I can live a little easier. I don't have to be so tense all the time, and I can still do what I need to do.

Not only Xu Han's mood has changed, but it can be clearly felt in the past two days that Lu Chuan's mood has also changed. The pressure is not so great, and his mood is better.

The two came under the hawthorn tree and started picking hawthorns as before.

After picking the fruits, I continued walking forward. At noon, I found a stream and washed my face beside the stream.

Then I filled the water tank in the space with water so that I could use it directly at night without having to look for water again.

Lu Chuan found a clean big rock, and the two of them sat on it to eat lunch and rest.

Xu Han felt like she was on an autumn outing. She was free and could collect things. She was so happy.

After lunch, we rested for a while and then continued walking.

As they were walking, Lu Chuan suddenly asked Xu Han to stop and not make any noise, and he took out a bow and arrow and shot in one direction.

Before Xu Han could see clearly what it was, the thing was shot down.

"What is it! I didn't even see it!" Xu Han said.

"It's a pheasant. Let's go get it."

The two men walked to the pheasant, Lu Chuan pulled out the arrow, and handed the pheasant to Xu Han.

"Look, there are pheasant eggs! We are so lucky." Xu Han hurried to pick up pheasant eggs.

"I'll roast it for you tonight. Do you want to eat it?" Lu Chuan asked.

"Great! I've never roasted a pheasant in the wild before!"

"Catch a hare later and roast them together."

"Okay, there's fish in the space! We can grill it too."

The two of them have been in the mountains for so long, and have been eating the food in the space. They really don’t have time to barbecue!

Because before I was always busy working and collecting things, I had no time to relax.

Put the eggs into the space and continue moving forward.

During this period, a lot of medicinal herbs were dug up, some of which were found by Xu Han and some by Lu Chuan.

The dogs would sometimes help out in the hunt, and in one day, they caught 11 pheasants and 7 rabbits. There were so many that we couldn’t finish eating them tonight!

At night, Lu Chuan dealt with pheasants and rabbits, while Xu Han cleaned up the cave. The cave they found today was particularly large and was completely sufficient for their use.

Xu Han had cleaned up and Lu Chuan had processed the game. Then Lu Chuan began to roast the pheasant and rabbit in his own way.

First he took a large wooden stick, skewered the game on it, then stuck it next to the fire and began to roast it.

He took out a few more fish from the space and grilled them together.

Everyone had a share tonight. A total of 4 grilled fish, 4 pheasants, and 4 rabbits were grilled. Most of them were hunted by the dogs, so of course they had to be fed to them.

The two of them sat next to the fire, roasting fish while taking out the garlic seeds they had bought some time ago. They peeled them in their free time so that they could plant them after the potatoes were harvested.

The large garlic is used to grow garlic heads, and the small garlic is used to grow garlic seedlings. The sizes are separated.

After all the garlic seeds were peeled and the meat was roasted, which took quite a long time, Xu Han was already hungry.

Sprinkle some salt on the barbecue, and you can start eating. It is sizzling and smells delicious. Xu Han can't wait to tear off a little grilled fish, breathing out breath as she eats.

"It's too hot, but it smells so good!" Xu Han said incoherently.

"Eat slowly, don't burn your mouth."

Eating meat alone was definitely not enough, so Xu Han took out some steamed buns from the space, skewered them on a stick and roasted them.

It's crunchy, especially crispy and very delicious.

It was such a pleasure to eat barbecue with carbonated drinks and some fruits. It was just a bit cold. I would feel frozen all over if I left the fire for a while.

After dinner, they boiled a pot of hot water, washed their faces, soaked their feet, and then went to rest.

In the middle of the night, Lu Chuan got up again and added some firewood to the fire. It was really cold, and Xu Han was so cold that she even buried her head in the quilt.

The next day, after daybreak, the two got up, drank a bowl of hot porridge, and ate some steamed buns. After they were full and warm all over, they set out to pick hawthorns.

As they walked, Lu Chuan said, "This place is not far from the reed marsh. Where are we going?"

"Sure! Let's go catch some more ducks and pick up some more eggs so we don't have to come here again."

"All right then! Let's go to the reed marsh now."

So the two changed their plan and started walking towards the reed marsh. When they arrived at the reed marsh, Lu Chuan left Heidian with Xu Han and took the other dogs to catch ducks.

Xu Han didn't stop either. She took out her backpack and started picking duck eggs.

After picking for a while, Lu Chuan came to Xu Han for lunch. After lunch, he took a short rest and started picking duck eggs again.

At night, the two returned to the cave where they lived last time.

For two consecutive days, the two of them caught ducks and picked up duck eggs in the reed marsh. Only after they had almost picked up all the duck eggs here did they start to move on to the next place.

Today is the fourth day since they came out. The two continued to walk deeper into the mountains and began to look for new hawthorns and other mountain products or medicinal herbs.

"Is this place far from the cattle herd?" Xu Han asked.

"It's not very far. Are we going there?" Lu Chuan asked back.
